Yeah, yeah, I know: despite Stefan Fatsis’ protestations, a kicker should never be named the Meast, even, if you know, one already has. This is what you might call an extraordinary circumstance. A game-winning boot, albeit a 24-yard chip shot, is pretty good on its own, but one coming a day after you’ve buried your youngest son is undoubtedly Meastian. And his honorary day in Tampa comes up in three weeks. Sure, some argue that no one would be making a big deal about Bryant if he missed those kicks. Well he didn’t, asshole.
Moreover, it’s the all the more reason not to give the award to Brett Favre, who had an okay game, I guess. Hey, Brett: does the media, as with everything you do, play up the fact that you had a great game on that Monday night after your dad died? Abso-buttfucking-lutely. Surely you’re okay with stepping aside to acknowledge another solid performance in the wake of personal tragedy. Oh, wait, you’re a spiteful dickhead. Well, whatever, diddums, it goes to Matt Bryant.


Despite the picture, when I saw “game-winning boot,” I thought for sure that the award was going to KSK’s favorite drunk-ass kicker. But yeah, I can’t imagine the kind of Sunday that Matt Bryant went through. Well-deserved.
No smartass comments my way, either. Don’t have any little ones yet, but I wouldn’t wish that kind of pain on my worst enemy.
Man I was watching this game and I felt terrible for Bryant, especially when it looked like he was going to be the goat when he kicked the ball out of bounds following his soon-to-be game winner. He looked like he was going to cry as he lined up to kick off and it was obviously one of the worst kicks you will ever see. Kudos for his teamates for picking him up by ass raping Aaron Rodgers the next play.
+1 million to Matt Bryant. Meast well deserved although we wish you hadn’t had the tragedy.
I have a small son too and this story was painful.
Another amen.
not to downplay matt bryant deserving this or anything, but, you could’ve given this to anyone with the justification of “better him that brett favre”, and i would agree.
Seriously, poeple talk about mental toughness, but when you consider he’s a t postion that’s what 90% nerves, this is just crazy.
@TDub: Agreed. The mental toughness it must to have taken even stand up, much less kick a game-winning field goal, makes him infinitely more measty than any physical accomplishment ever could.
To quote resident poet Magary: Fuck and yes.
amen…………..
Dude, how was he even playing? I’d still be wailing like Dick Vermeil.
No crude, smart-ass jokes here.
Yep.
Approve.
@CockFlashy – (that’s an odd thing to type to another man, by the way) – I’ve got two and another on the way. After watching the Bryant presser, I couldn’t stop hugging them.
This sort of shit didn’t make sense to me until I had a child. I looked into my son’s crib half a dozen times per night all last week because of this story. Call me a bitch if you must.
Phil- only every week
Matt’s (and my) hometown was under 4 feet of water a couple of weeks ago after Hurricane Ike. Lots of people we know lost their houses entirely. It’s a really fucking hard time for him right now.
But he deserved to be Meast when he kicked the 62-yard field goal.
Good pick for Meast. RIP Tryson.
Wait, where’s that second paragraph coming from? Did Favre contact you guys and demand that he be made Meast of the week or something?
I’m a stupid moron, with an ugly face, and a big butt, and my butt smells, and I like to kiss my own butt.
my allergies are acting up too, Drew.
no question it’s his this week
Damn, this still breaks me up.
I’ve got a little boy of my own and I just can’t imagine…
I suck.
Why is it so dusty in here? It’s getting in my eyes, I swear.
David Akers could use a bit more lead in the pencil as well.
I dunnoman i threw dem six teedees juscuzidungotno dead boy dont mean i cantbeno meast daggummit why aint dem camras onme
On a lighter note, Jeff Reed is still an entire box of tools.
Thank you.
Yep, not much you can say about this except that was some moving shit in his post game press conference. I couldn’t imagine, nor do I want to even try to, losing a little one like that. Gutwrenching!!
good call on this week’s Meast.
:(
